On Water

Capturing water’s essence is always a challenge yet the collective F4 chose the theme of water with enthusiasm.

The resultant collaborative project exhibited here celebrates 20 years of working together and friendship. From the tranquil to the dynamic, from the straight to the abstract, and from the conventional to the experimental, their differing approaches complement each other and reflect the gentle and rugged British countryside as well as images from further afield.

F4 share a passion for photography and work professionally and semi-professionally within the industry. They have exhibited in the UK and abroad.
